ITE Councils and Committees

Nearly 13,000 members of the Institute of Transportation Engineers are on the leading edge of issues through their participation in ITE’s special interest councils. Nine councils (currently 6 technical and 3 employer-type councils) are available for our members to subscribe to and participate in via the ITE Community website.

AS AN ITE MEMBER, JOIN AN ITE COUNCIL OF YOUR CHOICE, AND AS MANY AS YOU WOULD LIKE
Members subscribed to each of these special interest councils (listed in the right hand column of this webpage) on ITE Community will have access to real-time discussions, informal presentations/reports, documents, newsletters, blogs, and call for volunteers and project updates that cover emerging trends, proposed legislation and regulation. Members are provided micro volunteer opportunities and the chance to engage with individuals who play key roles in cutting edge topics of interest to the membership. Join here!

TECHNICAL COUNCILS

EMPLOYER-TYPE COUNCILS

Subscribing to any of the six area-of-practice technical councils on the ITE Community also provides opportunities to be instrumental in developing technical products and to actively contribute to the body of knowledge in a discipline. ITE council leadership welcomes members’ identification of the most important transportation issues to address, and suggestions for products that should be developed to assist in solving them.

The Public Agency, Transportation Consultants and Transportation Education councils are the three employer-type councils available for participation. These councils serve as forums for the discussion of the common interests as well as a vehicle for support of programs and projects that advance council members and the transportation profession.

The International Board of Direction has identified specific goals and objectives in the Strategic Plan that ITE will focus on during the year. This focus will be reflected in the projects and programs offered by the councils. These emphasis areas include elimination of road fatalities, sustainable transportation for communities, an efficient transportation system that serves all users and transportation workforce development, along with a variety of additional issues important to ITE members.

SUBMIT A WEBINAR IDEA PROPOSAL
We realize that developing a webinar is big time commitment, and sometimes it is nice to bounce your idea off of a few transportation industry leaders before you dive deep into the development process of creating a webinar. That is the purpose of this webinar idea proposal form! We want you to feel comfortable enough to let the ideas flow, with no significant commitment! You have nothing to lose.

Your idea is then reviewed by the ITE Professional Development Committee and the ITE Coordinating Council.

Lastly, after your idea has been reviewed, you will be notified and if the idea was accepted, you will be asked to complete the ITE Webinar Development Form!
